NEWS 3. AGM 2010. Report to follow

NEWS 2. The first Work Party of the year was a weekend of graft, skill & lots of laughter as the Patio & the North Bank were attacked by the Grove Ferry Boat Club workforce. A hardy mixture of ladies & gents both young & not so young worked like trojans to remove earth, concrete, metal objects, tea, coffee & delicious food. It was a fantastic effort that was well organised with the recycling of the earth & rubble that was cleared from the old patio being used on the North Bank to fill in holes and suchlike. Weather permitting it is hoped to complete the transformation of the Clubhouse Patio by April 2010 so that all Club Members will benefit from the massive efforts of the Work Partys. Thank you so much to all who gave up their weekend.

NEWS 1. Cobweb Cruise 2010 has started our boating year with bright sunny but slighty nippy weather. A great turnout of around 30 members arrived at Redhouse Marsh with a superb array of goodies with mulled wine warming the cockles of our hearts. Tasty snacks were arriving from all over the place and were gratefully tucked into. It was great to catch up with old & new friends again and to blow the cobwebs out of the previously snow covered boats."Jofre's" bad luck struck again when mechanical failure forced poor Alan & Sheila to be towed back to Grove Ferry by our great friends from the Boathouse, Irene & Roy on the impressive "Reneroy". Thanks to you all for making the day so special and it was great to see so many boats out on the river after all the bad weather that has been thrown at us over the past few weeks.

Trying not to miss any of the boats who attended they were Turramurra, Joffre, Lady Belmont, Jaspen, Nauti Buoy, Capetown Girl, Perlican, Cygnet, Sara, Mystique & Four Winner.
